Historically, due to wars, floods, earthquakes and other reasons, it has been destroyed many times and rebuilt or repaired many times. It is the best testimony of Xuzhou's war culture and flood culture. The external wall was rebuilt from Su Shi's flood control in the Northern Song Dynasty to the Three Breaches in the Ming Dynasty, and was reinforced again in the Qing Dynasty. It has weathered for thousands of years. During the Republic of China, the inner city wall was sold by the then National Government, and the ancient city wall of Xuzhou, which was more than ten miles long, was in ruins. Qingyun Bridge West 100 meters, the outer wall of Xuzhou on the south bank of the Old Yellow River, has become the only relic of the ancient wall of Xuzhou. As a witness and survivor of a thousand years' history, it stands silently up to now.
In the Master Plan of Xuzhou City (2007-2020), it is clearly planned to protect moats and stone dikes. The scope is that both sides of the city wall ruins are not less than 20 meters wide, and green belts with a width of 30 meters are built along the ancient city wall to strengthen the outline of the ancient city ruins. On the banks of the Guhuang River in Xuzhou City, stands an antique high-rise building with double cornices. This is the yellow house restored by 1988. Taohuawu in history was built on the east gate of Xuzhou City in August of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng Year (1078), after Su Shi, the magistrate of Xuzhou, led Xuzhou soldiers and civilians to overcome the flood 900 years ago. Because soil can hold water, it is painted with loess and named Huanglou. There are many inscriptions on Huang Zhai, the most famous of which is Ode to Huang Zhai written by Su Zhe and Su Shi. Watching the moon in Taohuawu has also become one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xuzhou.
The present reconstruction is located in the South Yellow River Road in Xuzhou City, east of Qingyun Bridge, in the Old Yellow River Park and on the levee on the south bank of the Old Yellow River. Built by Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is one of the five famous buildings in Xuzhou. Four big characters are written on both sides of the old building: "thoroughfare of five provinces" and "in front of the river". According to the data, this archway was built in the 23rd year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 18), and there used to be a bustling water pier around the ancient archway. The archway of thoroughfare in five provinces witnessed the vicissitudes of Xuzhou in the past 200 years. The time-honored building area is located in the prime location of the central business district, starting from Zhongshan North Road in the west, east to the eastern end of Jiahe East Street, north to Huanghe South Road, south to Pengcheng No.1 and Jindi Shangdu, with an area of 80,000 square meters.
With the acceleration of urbanization and the rise of emerging industries, there is a certain gap between the commercial format and architectural style of the old building area and the overall style orientation of the central business district. Recently, Gulou District has completely transformed the old building area, adjusted and upgraded the business format, and made every effort to create a fashionable and leisure block that is unified with the Central Business District. Pengcheng No.1, located in the northeast of Gupeng Square in downtown Xuzhou, covers an area of 2 1.45 mu. It was the capital of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu in the late Qin Dynasty, and the former site of Xiaoyao Hall, a great writer in the Song Dynasty. It has become the only ancient courtyard with rich historical and cultural accumulation in Xuzhou, recording and retaining a lot of information about the development and changes of Xuzhou city.
With the rapid expansion and development of Xuzhou Central Business District and the rise of Golden Eagle, Jindi and Suning International around Pengcheng No.1, the protective development of Pengcheng No.1 has also been included in the government agenda. In 2007, Shanghai Shengbo Kang Hua intervened in Pengcheng No.1 project for the first time in the strategic planning of reconstruction and development along Zhongshan North Road in Xuzhou, and proposed to inject modern fashion elements into old buildings, seeking a balance between structural preservation, style preservation and practicality, so as to blend the original architectural humanistic atmosphere of the Millennium Ancient Courtyard with the modern commercial context and achieve the harmonious unity of protection, development and benefit. The proposal was approved by the Xuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, so Shengbo Kang Hua launched a subversive commercial real estate plan for Pengcheng No.1, with 798 in Beijing, No.8 Bridge in Shanghai and 68 in Xuzhou. As the key urban construction project of 20 10 in our city, the first cultural and creative industry project in Xuzhou, the first phase of "Creative 68 Industrial Park" will be completed during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period and opened in February 65438. The whole project is expected to be completed in 20 12 years. The former site of a textile enterprise will soon become a distinctive creative base. Recently, at the second China Creative Planning Festival, the planning scheme of Xuzhou Creative 68 Cultural Industrial Park won the "Best Creative Park Planning Award in China".
The project is named after it is located at No.68 Zhu Min Road.
This land has played an irreplaceable role in different historical development stages of Xuzhou. 1948, Guo Xin founded a cotton mill here, which was transformed into an underwear factory after liberation. After the reform and opening up, it has become Xuzhou Knitting General Factory and Rongguan Hi-Tech Textile Co., Ltd., the first and largest velvet production enterprise in China. Nowadays, the creative industry once again makes this place full of vitality and becomes a distinctive symbol of this city. On the most prosperous Huaihai Road in Xuzhou, there is a century-old shop-Garden Hotel. Since its completion in 19 16, this hotel has been undergoing modern changes in China. From warlord to revolution, from one war to another, although history is constantly changing, this hotel is witnessing the changes of the great era with its vigorous and lasting vitality.
Xuzhou Garden Hotel has a long history and witnessed the modern history of warlord wars and civil wars. 19 16, British American tobacco businessman Wu invested 20,000 silver dollars and invited construction technicians from Shanghai to build according to the most fashionable German villa style at that time. There is mahogany furniture in the hall, fireplace for heating, western-style bathroom, and famous chefs from north and south are hired to take care of Chinese and western meals. Elegant and luxurious Western-style facilities and all kinds of Chinese and Western cuisines have made Garden Hotel famous in the province for a time and become the first choice for domestic warlords, gentry and celebrities to stay and entertain after coming to Xu. With the victory of Huaihai Campaign and the liberation of Xuzhou, the history of Zhongshan Hall has turned a new page. Zhongshan Hall has been directly managed by the government. During the Japanese puppet regime, Zhongshan Hall was named Guild Hall, which was designed and built by the Japanese. There are two floors in the foyer and the audience hall. The audience hall covers an area of more than 500 square meters and is directly managed by the Japanese puppet government. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the guild hall was taken over by the National Government, first called the National Hall, and then changed to Zhongshan Hall. In the early days of Xuzhou's liberation, Zhongshan Hall was still a two-story building, with a gate and yard in front of it and a low flower wall on the street.
Xuzhou Military Management Committee is located at Pengcheng Road 1. At that time, many important political, economic and cultural conferences in Xuzhou were held in Zhongshan Hall.
Zhongshan Hall is not only an important cultural propaganda position in Xuzhou, but also a political activity center in Xuzhou. Looking for the old buildings in Xuzhou, you must not miss the Bell and Drum Tower on Datong Street. This building is a five-story square tower-shaped building with mixed structure, which was built on the order of Yu Nianci, the county magistrate of Tongshan County in 193 1. With a height of about 20 meters and a building area of 120 square meters, it was the tallest building in Xuzhou at that time.
According to the records of Yunlong district, this building was originally built to report fire, so it is also called "Wanghuo Building". Every time a fire breaks out, a different bell is used to indicate the direction of the fire, so that the public can hear it and put out the fire. However, this "Wanghuo Building" never reported a fire alarm and was almost destroyed by a nearby fire.
1932, Datong Street paved the first asphalt road in Xuzhou, and it was also decided to replace the big bell of the Bell and Drum Tower with a new look. The installation of the clock was completed in the following winter. It is understood that this clock is a heavy hammer chain gear clock, with ceramic tiles on all sides, a Roman clock face, and the hands are one meter long. In the 1960 s, the clock face was changed into a white painted glass face, and Arabic numerals, numbers and hands were filed with hollow steel plates. According to the florist under the Bell and Drum Tower, the clock stopped swinging protectively because of years of wear and tear. Laodongmen Fashion Block is located at Huaihai East Road 104, with a total investment of 450 million yuan. Laodongmen Fashion District is divided into six theme areas: leisure dining area, theme dining area, leisure and entertainment area, exotic food area, characteristic bar area and boutique shopping area, and three squares: Central Square, Peace Square and Boai Square.
Building an Open Red History Museum In the northeast corner of the Old East Gate Fashion District, there is a bunker built in the 1930s, which is said to be the only remaining bunker in the urban area. There are many such historical sites in the old East Gate fashion district.
The old East Gate was built at 1938. It used to be the military base of the Japanese invaders, and it was the Kuomintang 1945 to 1948 Joint Service Office. 1937, Li Zongren commanded the Battle of Taierzhuang here; Huaihai Campaign 1948, which is the operational headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army Du. After 1949, the heroic corps to resist US aggression and aid Korea-the 68th Army Command, the 46th Army Command and the Hundred Generals Regiment of the People's Liberation Army-12 Army Command was stationed here successively.
In the past 72 years, the bricks and tiles here have witnessed the historical changes of China, and the word "Old East Gate" has also become the historical symbol of Xuzhou. Up to now, the National Auditorium, the ruins of the city wall, the sentry box and other buildings are still intact here. The Old East Gate Fashion Block will make use of the war relics to create an "open red history museum". A row of buildings located in the south of Huaihai Road and east of Wenhua Road have been used as the office space of Tongshan County since the liberation of Xuzhou. Wenhua Road 12, the second guest house in Tongshan County, has been established here for forty or fifty years.
The Japanese army built many strongholds and buildings in Xuzhou, but there are few existing ones, only those Japanese-style buildings on the cultural road are relatively complete. These buildings were built in 1942, then named as "Far East Hotel" and Bank. These typical Japanese-style buildings have high cultural value. From a historical point of view, it is a strong irrefutable evidence of Japan's invasion of China; From an architectural point of view, it also has the value of preservation. At present, some right-wingers in Japan strongly deny the history of aggression against China in those years, and we should use these hard evidence to refute these right-wingers. If these buildings can be repaired and arranged, the "Xuzhou Anti-Japanese Museum" will be established to collect, sort out, study and display anti-Japanese historical materials, which will be the most ideal place.
In 1960s, a "water dungeon" was discovered on Wenhua Road 12. According to experts' research, this is the basement or vault of a Japanese bank during the Japanese Puppet War. It consists of two suites inside and outside, with a total indoor area of about 50 square meters. Because it is close to the well in the hospital, the water level is consistent and the water keeps accumulating, so it is called "water prison". This is another proof that Japan invaded China.
We came to Xuzhou Wenhua Road 12. What you see is a street about 150 meters long, with Japanese-style buildings along the street. According to insiders, these buildings were built by the Japanese invaders at that time and were once used as the gendarmerie headquarters. It is currently the largest Japanese-style building in Xuzhou. Huilongwo Historic District is located in shantytown residential area, west of Jiefang Road, south of Qingnian Road, east of Nanmenqiao and north of Kuihe River, with a total demolition area of 35,287.96 square meters. The plot was built by Xuzhou Xinsheng Construction Development Investment Co., Ltd., and it is one of the key urban construction projects in Xuzhou on 20 10. Bian Xiao saw at the demolition site of Huilongwo that the demolition compensation announcement had been presented, and the citizens who went to the information desk for consultation were in an endless stream. According to the staff, the government wants to transform Huilongwo and its surrounding areas as a whole and build a historical block of Huilongwo, and the demolition of the project is under intense progress.
Reportedly, Huilongwo is a residential hutong with a total length of less than 400 meters, which has a history of more than 300 years. Although it has undergone several changes, it still basically retains the old appearance of blue bricks and gray tiles. According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he wanted to cross the river here, but because Huilongwo was a dead end and could not cross the river, Qianlong had to go the same way, hence the name "Huilongwo". This time, the government carried out the overall transformation of Huilongwo and its surrounding areas, aiming at creating a historical and cultural block of Huilongwo, restoring the historical features of the block in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and creating a business card showing the context of urban development. Xuzhou "Li Keran's Former Residence" was opened to the public in June 1985 65438+ 10/,and later renamed as Li Keran Art Museum. The former residence in the museum is a quadrangle structure. On the main wall of the South House, there is a huge dyeable masterpiece "Huangshan herringbone waterfall", with dyeable early living rooms on both sides. On the Western Wall, there is the seal of Qi Baishi written by Li Keran, "Thinking Long Ropes to Tie the Sun". Indoor furniture is simple and elegant, antique and timeless. Beiwu and Westinghouse are showrooms for life stories. People can see colorful artistic paths and creative ideas, as well as his patriotism and love for the people from a large number of literary pictures.
The former residence is divided into two courtyards: the West Courtyard is a brief introduction to Li Keran's life; The East Courtyard is an art exhibition hall, displaying the representative works of Mr. Li Keran in various periods explored on the art road. The doors of the East House and Westinghouse are crescent doors with the threshold inscribed by Li Keran on the top. On the one hand, it is "sincere view of Tao", on the other hand, it is "quiet place", which expresses the ambition and ambition of a generation of masters. Small courtyard with blue brick houses and chestnut shell doors and windows is even more simple and solemn. Parthenocissus climbs the wall, and holly in the flower bed is lush.
There is a horizontal plaque inside and outside the small round door connected with Westinghouse in the hall, which reads "Boundless" in the north and "Diligent" in the south, reflecting Mr. Li Keran's diligent pursuit and painstaking study of Chinese painting for many years. Hubushan's well-known antique street, quiet environment and quaint streets show the culture and art of Hubushan to the fullest. There are more than 100 antique art shops, which are a good place for Taobao lovers.
In recent years, when it comes to holidays, Xuzhou people or distant guests who travel to Xuzhou will always make an appointment with three or five friends to take a walk at the antique market in Hanlin Street, Hubushan. Hubu Mountain is antique and beautiful. There are more than 100 antique shops and art galleries located on both sides of Hanlin Street Road with their own characteristics.
